mERIDEN AND wATERBURYNEws
The ssPIank Road'' to be Moved a
 Half Mile North.


 The iron bridges to be used on the Meriden and Waterbury railroad have all been ordered from the Berlin Bridge company. No wooden bridges will be put up except a small amount of trestlework in places where it is designed to fill in with rock and earth later on. The bridge to be run over the Consolidated road where the Meriden and Waterbury crosses is an extra heavy one and will probably be in position by the first of September. The lay ing of the foundation for the abutments was begun Saturday. There are now nearly one thousand men at work on the road, but prob ably by next week the force at the Waterbury end will be so much increased that fifteen hundred men will be at work. A half mile of the so-called "plank road" on the Water bury slope is being moved to 8 point half mile further north in order to remove bad confictions with the line of the railroad.

NEwYokK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY. MAY 26. 1897

tho recent attempts of the English Unionists
TO confound Parncllism with crimo, and to
identify tho Home Rule party in Ireland with
tho Vaccinations Of James Carey and O'Dono-
van Rosa. Homo Rule is not the politics OF
assassination. Ireland is not inhabited by n
race Of bloodthirsty savages.
Let Justice DO dono alike TO tho orange and
the green. The desperadoes who have logged
Mr.. O'BIien's steps in the Dominion are Peep
of day Boys a century out of date. They do
not stand for that sturdy Irish Professionalism
which in Canada and the United States is 30
he credited with thrift, industry and mani
fold civic virtues. Mr.. O'Brens campaign
against the viceroy was bitterly resented by
the Protestants of Ontario but the miscrc-
ants who have been plotting his assassination
alone arc responsible for their folly ard
crime Tho Orange lodges once strongholds
Of jealous propagandism, have been greatly
dscreditcd since 1885 in Canada as well as
in England and are no longer the responsible
agencies of Irish Professionalism There is no
reason to believe that tho murderous assaults
upon Mr.. O'Bnon wero deliberately planned
in any Of those lodges. and certainly the pre-
vaiIing sentiment in Protestant Canada Is in
favor of free speech and personal liberty as
against assassination and lawlessne's.

TIE CAPITOL AT ALBANY.

II the Legislature refuses TO make any ap-
preparation for tho Capitol this year beyond
what may be necessary to provide for repairs
and insure tho safety of the building, the
decision will meet with general approval We
believe that largo majority of the people Of
tho State desire to have the work that remains
completed as soon as possiblc-cOmmon sense
dictates such a course But we are sure that
they demand first that careful estimate bc made
showing the cost Of such work, so that they
may no longer proceed in the dark in furnish
ing the money TO foot the bills and second.
that precautions DO taken to prevent the repe-
tition Of tho costly blundcrs which have done
SO much to impair tho value of the work al
ready done.
On Monday bill was introduced appropriating
$115, 900 10 repair the ceiling of the Assem-
bly, Chamber, tho staircase and some other
portions of the building, (which" says our
correspondent care in a ruinous condition"
Tho ceiling Of the Assembly Chamber hns
been tho occasion of considerable anxiety Of
late. Nobody has seemed to be quite sure
that it would not take The floor before the
session was over. If the ceiling had been
properly built in the first place would its con-
dition at tho present time be ruin0us If
not, why are not the men who put it up
brought TO book I And what assurance have
tho public that those who are responsible for
the splendid staircase whose condition is also
"ruinous" will not 10 invited TO assist In
restoring it and in thus preparing it for re-
ruinationf Perhaps nobody is 30 blame
Perhaps tho decay into which certain portions
OF tho Capitol has fallen and which this ap-
preparation OF $4,000 is expected to arrest
was inevitable in tho nature Of things If so
it would be well to have that fact established
The taxpayers pockets would open easier if
Ii could DO demonstrated that they were not
asked in this instance to pay $4,000 for
ignorance and incfliciencv.

CANADIAN DESPERADOES.

II is unfair 10 hold Irish Professionalism re
sponsible for tho dastardly assaults upon Mr.
O'Brien. The desperadoes who fred upon
him in Hamilton. and swarmed about his car
riage with murderous intent were presumably
Orangemen, but they did not represent the
thousands of sober-minded Irish Protestants
who for half q century bavo formed one OF
tho most industrious and reputable elements
of tho population Of Ontario. The frenzied
mob which surged through tho streets Of
Belfast not long ago, pillaging the shops Of
Roman Catholic tradesmen and butchering
helpless bystanders, was recruited mainly from
tho lowest classes. Protestant Ulster neither
instigated nor upheld notng and mob-law
The great body of Irish Presbyterians, who
for century have been the most law abiding
class in tho island, never sanctioned the out
RACES then committed. The Irish Episcopal
ians, whose communion has comprised the most
conservative element in Ulster, had no SYM
patty with the folly and wickedness then
displayed The Belfast rioters were fanatical
criminals whose deeds Of violence and blood
shed brought disgrace upon the ruling classes
of tho town; but it would be most unjust to
hold tho Protestants of the North accountable
for tho excuses and crimes Of a lawless mob.
Equally unjust would it be TO put tho response
bility for the outrages in Toronto, Kingston
and Hamilton upon Canadian 0rangemen
Tho Irish Protestants, who have emigrated
from Ulster and settled in Canada during this
century. wero cmbittered by the religious
feuds prevailing in the island since 1858, and
the Orange lodges established in Ontario were
once active and fourishing; but they have
never aided and Allotted cOwardly assassina-
tons nor defended rioting and bloOdshed
Canadian Professionalism suffers in this re-
spcct precisely as Irish Nationalism has been
unjustly compromised by the bloodthirsty acts
Of hot headed criminals. The Phoenix Park
assassins did not represent tho Home Rule
party nor tho Catholic population of the isl
and. That dastardly crime was the work of
small body of secret conspirators and mis-.
creants. The Irish Catholics were united TO

TIE EPSON BLUE RIBBOM

The vanity Of mortal expectations was illus
trated painfully on EPSON Downs yesterday
when The Baron. one Of the strongest favorites
that ever went to the post for the Derby, came
IN second instead of first. The Baron Is big,
ng-legged Irish colt, whose performances last
year made the public believe that he could
hardly lose the tur7s blue ribbon, and
when Enterprise, who was supposed to
be his most formidable competitor, and
who won the Two Thousand Gui-
meas, was withdrawn, having injured himself in
a runaway, The Baron's mortgage on the great
race was thought as good as foreclosed, and
merrily indeed did the British plunger shovel
his "monkies " and ponies upon the repre-
sentative of the Emerald Isle, in spite of the
fact that he came from the wrong side of the
silver streak which splits Great Britain.
Now the prejudice against everything Irish
which afllicts the gilded youth of London
will undoubtedly become stronger than
ever. The cause of The Baron's failure appears
to havesbeen rather common one In rlces-he

the strikes at various shafts. This sub letting
is absolutely prohibited by law, but the high
priced commissioners hold that it is no affair of
theirs, and that they cannot go behind the men
whose bids for the work were accepted. There
are many reasosn for thinking that this COM
mission is losing public confidence rapidly. be-
cause its members seem to be too much under
the influence of the big contractors and too re-
luctant to do anything to displease that power
full combination that monopolizes the chief
part of this huge undertaking. Vigorous at
tempts have been made at Albany to get the
salaries of the commissioners raised. That
they have done any public service justifying an
increase of salary is not at all clear.

the Park BOIm has taken united action

tho National Guard Of tho city generally

Tho trampling OF soldiers would be sniff

CHAMBERLAIN ON THE sITUAT1oN


Mr.. Chamberlain takes a gloomier view of
the English political situation than his Union
ist colleagues. They are encouraged by the re-
suits of the long struggle over coercion since
they are confident that obstruction is making a
bad impression upon the constituencies. Then,
too, they secretly rejoice over the signs of Mr..
GladstOne's advancing age and Mr.. Parnelrs
increasing feebleness of health. They expect
to wear out one man and to break down the
other, old age and cancer fighting on their side.
With the two leaders out of the way, Home
Rule, they fancy, will be a lost cause. If Mr.
Chamberlain shares their feeling of exultaton,
he prudently cOnceals his state Of mind. He
calls upon the UnIonists to organize through
out the United Kingdom and warns them that
defeat stares them in the face if they neglect
to prepare in time for a general election. A
good deal has been happening in the Liberal
organization of Birmingham that leads him to
emphasize this warning.
